The software is capable of controlling only parts of the AR 2. It controls the V1 completely however due to changes in the protocols there are parts which cannot be controlled on the V2. I believe this is limited to the camera only but I may be wrong. Have a search on the forum, the topic has come up a few times in the past.

Hello Esh , welcome to the community. The controls will work on the v2. It is the camera video feed that is the problem. It uses a jpeg compression H264 encoding. A few decoders have been tried with only partial success. The video tends to be both delayed and choppy. Since they encoded the video stream they made this difficult. You may be best off attaching your own wireless camera. There are very small and light options with dongles you can plug into your pc. I pasted a link above.

Its very strange, that the software works on 1.0 and not on2. 0...

As Josh (@jstarne1) pointed out, they changed the protocol/encoding of the camera on the 2.0 which is why it is not 100% supported. The controls themselves apparently work for the 2.0 but you cannot connect to the camera of the 2.0

If you need the camera then you need the AR Drone 1.0 or you need to mount a different camera as has been explained previously.

It will come down to the vision aspect. ARC has various tracking abilities in the camera control, if one of these tracking abilities will do what you plan then yes.

Download ARC, it's free. Take a look at what controls and options there are and decide if it does what you require it to do.
